Continuing from first service
Continuing from http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/486994-post.html. I posted a few pics that would've probably lost in the previous restoration from backup. Anyway, here's how the airfilters were looking after cleaning using surf excel
And after soaking in 2T oil
Now the ODO clock is 2471 & wanted to check the color of spark plug
This is the color of spark plug that is clocked 781 Kms after last clean up.Last edited by aargee; 09-16-2010, 09:19 PM.Leave a comment:

Motor city MadrasOriginally posted by ramkumar View PostAnd where did you get that from aargee
The one I bought was the last of its kind that was available. Probably God was on my side that day. Skipped lunch, didn't have money in hand, misplaced the primary ATM card & bought it through CC by paying a hefty surcharge on a hot afternoon after making a decision in split second.Leave a comment:

You have tonns of manufacturers in Delhi that many of us are unaware of and they provide parts for alomost everything moving with an engine in India.Originally posted by aargee View Post
YAMAHA does not manufactures these cylinder kits inhouse.They too have parts outsourced just like any other OEM. So you never know if you get in touch with the manufacturer/supplier that supplies these parts to YAMAHA.
My thaughts i would not just believe anyone untill i get a answer for my self.Leave a comment:

Yes. That lady is a bit short tempered. She has been there for the last 5 years or more - I have been seeing the same duo - Ratan that boy and that Madam for a long time now and so they are a bit better behaved with regular customers but they can both be very rude at times.
Just say "Madam...." she will be more polite
Anyway, the problem is not the dealers, its the Co. itself which is not having enough items in production. Who knows for sure if the April 2010 timeline for new BP kits is real ? As you have said, we have been hearing this for years on end now. Best bet is to look for used Std or 1st OS kits...and get a rebore.Leave a comment:

Funny, I want to post it here about the talk I had with "Bangalore Wheels" on Rajkumar Road, B'lore.As Sandeep said, your best bet for bore kit is a Yamaha dealer with whom you could place an order
I went to buy the handle bar, they gave me Curix handle bar and said we give this every body even for RX'ers. I said no, then I tried to talk to the lady in the spare parts section about the bore kit. She said NO with out even looking away from the computer in which she was entering some thing.
I asked if I can place an order and pay advance for the RX 100 bore kit, she said NO. Reason? She says the Yamaha people are making a fool of the dealers (In Kannada "Kage harisodu") saying it'll come in next 2 months from the past 2 years so she cant take advance for something that she is not sure of will come.
However, she was hopeful that it'll come in the next 2 months and asked me to check with her next month end. - We all know what that means...
I closed the note saying - What Yamaha is doing now is only helpling the "black market" grow for these spares (like MCC selling fake products at a higher price)Leave a comment:

MCC is ok for 2T oil and small spares of RX. He doesn't have much anyways. As Sandeep said, your best bet for bore kit is a Yamaha dealer with whom you could place an order. Else search for it in small towns.Originally posted by ramkumar View PostIn regards to the above post... Does any one in b'lore been to a place called MCC (Motor Cycle Company) on JC Road? He has bore kits for RX-100 - they look like crap... He says he has got it from Indonasia. I tried to get some specs (piston make (ART, Goteze), the batch number engraved on the clyinder Y1, G1, E2 etc...) None of it is there.
I tried to explain him the reason for not buying that it's not about money, but it's the love for the bike that I dont want to buy and that guy got personal and started shouting at me
I am a newbie, would fellow bangaloreians share their experience @ MCC?
Oh by the way, he sells those crap-kits for 5.5KLeave a comment:

Whew!!!
Whew!!! Finally replaced the cable!!! Took about an hour; tested for about 3 Kms & things seems to be good. I suspect the Pulsar's clutch lever as the culprit. If this one also breaks in 2-3K Kms, then I'm damn sure about it & know what to do.Leave a comment:
